MK Esawi Frej (Meretz) said on Wednesday evening that his party will not join in any way with Ehud Barak's Democratic Israel party.
"The party will not approve an alliance with Ehud Barak. He is a red rag in the eyes of Arab society. He is an undesirable person. Apologizing after 19 years is political cynicism. The order of priorities among Israeli Arabs has changed. They want to be taken care of before the neighbors are taken care of,” said Frej.
